President Trump to Meet with Colombian President Gustavo Petro at White House
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the White House today, Tuesday, at 16:00 GMT. The meeting, set to take place in the Oval Office, will be closed to the press.
The White House press office confirmed the private nature of the discussions, which come amid ongoing tensions between the two leaders. Trump, a staunch advocate of the Monroe Doctrine, has previously accused the Colombian government of involvement in drug trafficking.
Petro has responded sharply to Trump’s remarks in the past, leading to public exchanges on social media that have heightened diplomatic friction. Today’s meeting is seen as a critical opportunity to address these issues and explore areas of cooperation.
